    Penalties or rather Lack of

    I can't ever recall such a long run of domestic games without us being awarded a single penalty. We've been on the receiving end of a good few bad penalty decisions this term.

    Until the last two matches we were seldom in the oppositions penalty area this season.

    That's certainly a factor but as recently as Boxing Day Hutchy had a very strong claim dismissed at Pittodrie. Earlier in the season we had several stonewallers waved away.

    I wouldn't worry about not getting awarded penalties, we'd only miss about 90% of them anyway. Our record from the spot is utterly pathetic in recent years.

    What do you base that on? The Higdon-Murphy-hateley series was bad but that apart I think we've been pretty solid. I can remember only two misses from Higdon, he had an excellent record as our last regular taker.

    Well if the final league positions come down to a goal difference or a point or two, early season decisions against ICT and Aberdeen could prove crucial.
